Crypto Founder Wiki

Bitcoin

Bitcoin was released by the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. This stable entity represents the author who used that name to publish the paper and software and launch the network; it does not imply that this wiki has identified the person or group behind it.

Covered people

Section titled “Covered people”
  • Satoshi Nakamoto: Bitcoin’s white-paper author, original software developer, and network launcher; underlying identity unknown.
  • Chandler Guo: included as an early investor and mining figure, not as Bitcoin’s founder.
  • Li Xiaolai: included as an early buyer, educator, fund manager, and industry investor, not as Bitcoin’s founder or core developer.

The directory may include people with research value to a network’s history, but it distinguishes founders, core developers, investors, miners, and ecosystem figures.
